[PATCH 1/2] i2c-imx: Use the preferred form for passing a size of a struct

[PATCH 1/2] i2c-imx: Use the preferred form for passing a size of a struct

[Fabio Estevam]

From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam-KZfg59tc24xl57MIdRCFDg@public.gmane.org>

According to Documentation/CodingStyle - Chapter 14:

"The preferred form for passing a size of a struct is the following:

	p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...);

The alternative form where struct name is spelled out hurts readability and
introduces an opportunity for a bug when the pointer variable type is changed
but the corresponding sizeof that is passed to a memory allocator is not."
    
So do it as recommeded.
